How to choose fresh and delicious salmon
- For filleted salmon, you should buy fish that has a bright orange color, with evenly distributed fat marbling, a bright white appearance, and a smooth texture, with no signs of darkening or unpleasant odors. Fresh salmon will not be mushy and will have a certain firmness.
- You should not choose pieces of fish that are mushy, pale in color, or have cloudy fat marbling as these indicate that the fish has been stored for too long and is not fresh.
- You can buy frozen salmon at supermarkets or reputable grocery stores to ensure quality.
How to clean salmon properly, without fishy smell
- Wash the salmon thoroughly, use ginger to crush or grind it finely and mix it with a little white wine, then massage the salmon evenly, marinate for about 5 – 10 minutes, and then rinse with water. After that, pat the salmon dry.
- Using lemon: squeeze fresh lemon to extract the juice, mix the freshly squeezed lemon juice with filtered water and add a little salt. Soak the salmon in this mixture, flipping it over, then rinse with water.
- Using fresh milk: pour fresh milk into a large bowl, add the salmon, ensuring the milk covers the fish. Soak for about 3 – 5 minutes, then rinse; the fish will no longer have a fishy smell.
